Self-Guided Boston's Beacon Hill Underground Railroad Audio Tour Walking Tour

Overview

Discover Beacon Hill's Underground Railroad history while walking its cobbled stones streets. On this historic adventure you'll see the old hidden alley's slave catchers once chased slaves, and where they hid for safety. You'll see the spots on the underground railroad that runways hid. You'll hear the stories of the brave souls that risked their lives to keep them save. This is a time in history we should never forget, and it's often overlooked in Boston's history.

This tour is unique because it's a Solo, self guided tour you can take anytime. The WalknTours app navigates you through Beacon Hill and plays the stories as you walk. It's like a personal tour guide, only it's on your phone, it's technology and way more convenient. Go when you want, at your own pace and stop anytime.

Never received emails telling me which apps to download, was sent several confirmation and experience codes to use, none of which activated the tour, tried to get this to work over the phone on a street corner in 30 degree weather and couldn't get it to work and still waiting on a refund. Take the NPS.gov free tour.

Hi! There is a button in Viator to "View Ticket". That has the instructions to get the WalknTours app and use the code :). Also, you can contact me anytime at [email protected] or text 617-991-3269 and I'm here to help. I'm sorry this did not work out for you. This was refunded long ago. 1000's take this tour, and it's a unique tour. The majority of these sites, including the hidden alleyways/passage (that are public) are not on the NPS.gov free tour. This is a theatrically produced, location aware (GPS) walking tour on the WalknTours app and tells the powerful story of slavery in the USA :). I"m here to help, please write me with any questions. Thank yoU!

Easy to use app with clear directions and loads of information. Took us to places we would not have thought of or found otherwise.
